Ukraine receives four more U.S.-made HIMARS rocket systems - minister

Ukraine has received a batch of four more U.S.-made high mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), Ukraine's defence minister said on Monday.

"I’m grateful to @POTUS and @SecDef Lloyd Austin III and the (U.S.) people for strengthening of #UAarmy," Oleksii Reznikov, the minister, wrote on Twitter.

HIMARS has a longer range and are more precise than Ukraine's Soviet-era artillery, allowing Ukrainian forces to hit Russian targets that were previously unreachable. Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
